How to Start a Business as a Makeup Artist
If you are creative and have a knack for making your models look incredible, or have a bit of a thing for stage makeup, perhaps consider advertising your services for makeup artistry. Whether it is a classic style for Spring Racing, something sinister for Halloween or a full bridal look, take loads of pictures of your work and place it up on your Facebook Page and Instagram. To get a bit more practise under your belt, approach your local theatre groups.
But there is now an app where you can advertise your services in your local area and be booked – just like an Airbnb. It is called Flayr. And you can set your own pricing for all sorts of services such as makeup, hair, colouring etc.
What you can expect to earn:
From $80 per look on onwards depending on the quality of makeup and experience.
What will I need:
You will need to provide all the makeup (good quality), brushes and transport.
Potential Clients:
High School girls for their school formals, hairdressers
